When meeting Cécile Mourer-chauviré for the first time, one might get the impression that she is a very shy and diffident person. After knowing her a little bit better one will be surprised by her splendid humor as well as her directness and will be fascinated by her outstanding educational background in so many different kinds of topics. When working with her one will profit by her collegiality and will be impressed by her broad paleontological and extraordinary osteologi-cal knowledge – and this not only in avian anatomy. And one would wonder how this apparently shy and cautious woman can be combative in professional discus-sions when disagreeing. She is always good for a surprise.

Cécile retired in 2005, but this had no real impact on her activity as researcher. She remains unfailingly very active and productive, publishing scientific articles, reviewing a vast quantity of manuscripts per month, and participating annually in paleonto-logical as well as archaeological field campaigns.

Cécile can look back to an eventful and highly

productive scientific career. She significantly impacted paleornithological research in and out-side of Europe for the last 50 years and is in high demand as an expert and favored collaborator for researchers all over the world, but especially for

the next generation of paleornithologists.Cécile chauviré was born Novem-

ber 5th, 1939 in Lyon (France), as the second of six children

(four sisters and 1 brother) in a well-known Lyon-

nais family, her father being a reputable ophthalmologist. She went to primary and secondary school in Lyon. The latter was a very strict neigh-boring school, from which she received the Baccalauréat in 1955

(first part) and in 1956 (second part). After a

very hard selection, with only one candidate out of

ten passing the competitive examination at the end of the year,

she entered the University of Lyon and oriented towards natural sciences with

different diplomas in Zoology, Botany and Geol-ogy. Since that period she acquired a degree of fame among the students, not only because of her excellent results, but also for her significant

pest (Hungary), one of the few specialists at that time in Europe. Between 1961 and 1964 she was first “Stagiaire”, then “Attachée de Recherche au CNRS” at the University of Lyon.

In 1964, Cécile married Roland Mourer, an eth-nologist, whom she had met during excavation campaigns during her 3rd cycle thesis. The same year she left with her husband, who was sent to Cambodia for his military service as “coopé-rant”, to the small city of Kompong Chhnang. The sojourn was originally supposed to last one year, for which Cécile had received permission from the CRNS for unpaid leave, but finally they decided to stay longer. She quit her post at the CNRS and in the end remained six years in Cam-bodia, during which her two sons, Alexis and Ivan, were born. During the first year in Cam-bodia (1964-1965), Cécile worked as a French teacher at the Lycée Preah Bat Suramarit in Kom-pong Chhnang. In 1965, she obtained a post as a Professor in Geology at the Université Royale of Phnom Penh where she taught for five years until 1970, when the civil war began in Cambodia.

During their time in Cambodia, Roland Mourer and Cécile went archaeological prospect-ing in the limestone massifs of the Battambang province, in northwestern Cambodia. Already in 1965, they had discovered a prehistoric settle-ment in the Laang Spean cave on top of a phnom [mountain, hill] between Battambang and Païlin. They started excavating there and because the location was out of range of any infrastructure, they spent all week there, just the two of them,

repertoire of bawdy songs (“Qu’y a t-il dans le grenier de ton grand-père?” [What’s in your grandfather’s attic?]) – an unexpected knowl-edge for a mannerly bachelor girl of that time, as remembered by Marguerite huGueney, a long-time friend and colleague at Lyon University. However, Cécile explains that she came by the songs honestly while listening to her father sing them in the morning while shaving.

The beginning of Cécile’s scientific career did not immediately reveal that she would become one of the most important paleornithologists, as she started with a “thèse de 3ème cycle de Géologie du Quarternaire” on a fauna of large Quarternary mammals from the locality of Châtillon-Saint-Jean, (Drôme, France), that she finished in 1962. Due to this topic she initially acquired a certain fame as a “quarternarist”, for which she is still consulted nowadays.

Professor Henri Gauthier, the then direc-tor of the laboratory in the University in Lyon, proposed Cécile to be candidate for a position in the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), with a doctoral thesis subject on Pleistocene birds. At that time almost no one was working on fossil birds in France, and there were not many of them in the rest of Europe either.

Cécile succeeded in securing the CRNS position in 1961 and began her research on fos-sil birds. She started to gather as many fossil and extant birds as possible in order to create a comparative collection. She visited different col-lections in France and abroad, and took advantage of the knowledge of Prof. D. janossy in Buda-

sité Claude Bernard – Lyon 1 in 1971, first as “Attachée” and then until 1984 as “Chargée de Recherche au CNRS”. During this period she finished her “Thèse d’Etat” (a long and impor-tant diploma that no longer exists) in 1975, which instated her as the specialist in fossil birds in France and even in Europe at that time. She followed up with a “Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR)” in 1984 and subsequently became “Directeur de Recherche” at the CNRS in 1985 until her retirement in 2005 and has been emeritus “Directeur de Recherche” at the CNRS since then. During all this time and until today (and hopefully for the years to come) she devoted herself to avian research. She was always will-ing to assist geologist colleagues in identifying fossils they found, she warmly received paleorni-thologists coming to see her, and took under her wing numerous students and young academics from France and abroad, who came to be trained under her care. I had the pleasure to be among these fortunate individuals. All of us profited from her generosity in sharing her immense pale-ornithological and paleontological knowledge, by her warm reception and hospitality – among the many reasons she is so popular among a group of younger palaeornithologists such as Gerald Mayr (Frankfurt), Marco Pavia (Torino), Antoine Louchart (Lyon), Estelle Bourdon (Paris), and myself (Vienna). She warmly welcomed me in her lab for a Postdoc sojourn in spite of the fact that a few years earlier I had accidentally dropped a drawer full of fossil holotype bird bones in her office – one of the blackest and most

sleeping on straw mats on the ground under a mosquito net and under the stony arches of the partly collapsed cave roof. In the following years and excavation periods, they slept in a tiny rick-ety straw hut on stilts at the foot of the phnom that local farmers had built for them. One morn-ing Roland and Cécile detected a carnivore’s paw print in the dust close to their hut, the size of a plate. A tiger had come along while they were sleeping in their shaky hut. “We never told this story because we did not want people to think we were mad” remembers Cécile. But the presence of a tiger that used to come to drink in a nearby waterhole was confirmed much later by the local people. Forty-four years after they stopped excavating in this cave, Roland and Cécile were invited in 2012 to come back to Cambodia and to visit “their” cave to contemplate new impor-tant discoveries that have been made since 2009, when a Khmero-French team had resumed exca-vations in Laang Spean. They were surprised to see that local people had put a small propitiatory altar in the cave, with small wooden tiger statu-ettes, where they intended to placate the spirits of the tigers.

In 1970, during vacation back in France, the situation in Cambodia worsened as the Viet Nam War expanded; Cécile decided not to return to Cambodia and instead remained in France with the two children, while her husband Roland spent two more years in Cambodia.

Back again in France, she again succeeded in obtaining a position in the CNRS at the Univer-

1987, and from 1987 to 1999, she has taken care of this time-consuming task as the secretary of the SAPE.

Almost annually she participated and still participates in paleontological or archaeologi-cal excavations. One of the most outstanding of these was on Réunion Island, where excavations in a swamp, the “Marais de l’Ermitage”, were carried out with the aim of finding any evidence of the so-called Réunion White Dodo. Standing in the swamp that was made up of about 80 cm of organic soil, overlying a fossiliferous layer about 40 cm deep, the only way to find the bone remains was to explore the mud in the bottom of the swamp with the fingertips. But after four excavation campaigns, as they kept finding Réun-ion Ibis bones and no Dodo bones, they finally realized that the Réunion Solitaire, described by early travelers, was not a White Dodo but an Ibis.

Cécile has worked on a wide array of avian groups, periods, and geographic regions. Dur-ing her entire career she continued to work on Paleogene birds, mainly from the “Phosphorites du Quercy”, but also studied Neogene and Qua-ternary birds. Among the latter, her bibliography indicates a noticeable interest in insular avifau-nas from the Balearic Islands, Corsica, Sardinia, Cyprus, La Réunion, and New Caledonia. Antoine Louchart, a former PhD student, points to the fact that she pioneered the revival of the study of extinct birds of the Mascarene Islands, with a special effort to integrate data from concomi-tantly historical and paleontological archives.

Finally, in most recent years, Cécile studied many African avifaunas from the Paleogene of Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and Namibia, and the Miocene to Pliocene of Namibia, Kenya, and Morocco.

Cécile’s longtime friend and colleague, Mar-guerite hugueney (Lyon), witnessed that, in addition to Cécile’s research work, she contrib-uted actively to the life of the lab at the Université Claude Bernard, Lyon 1, taking on a large part of the syndical and administrative responsibili-ties; she continued managing the lab during very difficult times for her, when a series of great mis-fortunes entered her life: illness, the death of her younger sister, and, above all, that of her elder son Alexis in 1996, in whose memory she dedi-cated the species Ameripodius alexis. She thrived

awkward days of my career. But my 15-month postdoc sojourn in Lyon, with Cécile as my host, is one of my highlights and most wonderfully remembered times of my career. PhD students supervised or co-supervised by Cécile Mourer-chauviré are: Jacques chenevaL, Joëlle Pichon, Philippe viLette, Christine Lefèvre, and Antoine Louchart.

During her scientific career Cécile herself also took advantage of experience gained abroad. In each of the years 1981 and 1983 she spent six months in the lab of Prof. Pierce BrodkorB at the University of Florida at Gainsville (USA). The latter welcomed her kindly in his house-aviary, which, if you were not afraid of guano accumulation, was an ideal observatory of the life of parrots, budgerigars and allies … in wild conditions. Cécile had started to study the Paleo-gene birds from the famous Quercy localities in France, but in France the required comparative material of extant bird skeletons was insufficient. The extensive bird collection of Pierce BrodkorB allowed these necessary comparative works. Cécile Mourer-chauviré and Pierce BrodkorB also collaborated on several studies on fossil birds (Anhingas, Cormorants, Strigiformes) from Olduvai, Tanzania, that he kept in his collection. From 1983 to 1984, Cécile became Adjunct Pro-fessor of Zoology at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.

Later, in 1993 and in 1996, she again enjoyed stays of two months and one month respectively at the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C., where she was warmly welcomed and hosted by Storrs oLson and Helen JaMes.

In 1985, Cécile organized, with the help of Jacques chenevaL, the international meeting “Table ronde internationale du CNRS” under the title “L’évolution des oiseaux d’après le témoign-age des fossiles” [evolution of birds based on fossil evidence]. This meeting was held in Lyon-Villeurbanne, from September 18th to 21st, 1985. It was during this meeting that an informal soci-ety called the “Society for Avian Paleontology and Evolution” was initiated, and would meet every four years. Cécile was elected Secretary of the SAPE with the task of gathering infor-mation and sending a newsletter each year. The first “Information Letter” was sent in September

to overcome all these events by her dedication to all her family (with four grandchildren, includ-ing triplets), to her numerous friends, and to her work.

Several colleagues have expressed their respect for Cécile and her work by naming bird-taxa after her. So far eight fossil bird species or genera carry her name: Aythya chauvirae che-nevaL, 1987, Cypseloides mourerchauvireae MLíkovský, 1989, Chauvireria Boev, 1997, Pica mourerae seguí, 2001, Oligosylphe mourerchauvireae Mayr & sMith, 2002, Tyto mourerchauvireae Pavia, 2004, Afrocygnus chau-vireae Louchart et al., 2005, Asphaltoglaux nov. spec.

In order to honor Cécile Mourer-chauvi-ré’s outstanding paleornithological contribution and her long-lasting, active commitment as co-founder and as secretary for the “Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution”, the “8th interna-tional meeting of the SAPE” held in 2012 in Vienna was dedicated to her, including a special tribute-session and a laudatio by Ken caMPBeLL during the meeting. Subsequently, a new fund was also established by the Executive Coun-cil of the SAPE, “The Cécile Mourer-Chauviré Travel Grant”, a travel fund supporting graduate students and other scholars presenting papers at future SAPE meetings.

And, last but not least, the present proceedings volume is dedicated to you, Cécile, accompanied by the warmest wishes for the years to come and with the hope that you enjoy this volume, that you continue enriching paleontological research with your contributions, and with the sincerest hope that there will be many additional occasions for colleagues and me to collaborate with you.

With admiration and sympathy, Ursula
